Electric accumulators; nickel-metal hydride, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

HS v2017 Code: 850750

About electric accumulators; nickel-metal hydride, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

hs code 850750 covers the classification of electric accumulators, specifically those using nickel-metal hydride technology. These rechargeable batteries are widely used in a variety of electronic devices and equipment, from portable electronics to hybrid and electric vehicles. As a key component in the energy storage industry, the production and trade of nickel-metal hydride accumulators play a significant role in the broader economy, supporting the growth of numerous downstream industries.

Production process

The production of nickel-metal hydride accumulators typically involves a multi-step process. First, the active materials, including the nickel and metal hydride electrodes, are prepared. These are then assembled into individual cells, which are then packaged and sealed. The final step involves the formation and charging of the cells to ensure optimal performance and capacity.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 850750 items include the raw materials for the electrodes, such as nickel, metal hydrides, and other specialty metals. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires various components like separators, casings, and electrical connectors. Specialized production equipment, such as cell assembly machines and formation/charging systems, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 850750 is the nickel-metal hydride electric accumulators, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries. These batteries are commonly used in 851760 portable electric lamps and 851770 other portable electric lamps, as well as in 870321 Passenger cars with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine and 870322 Other vehicles with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine.
